Kyle Fletcher has revealed which WWE names he has used for inspiration for his promos.
The AEW star spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He discussed things such as shaving his head live on TV, cage match with Will Ospreay, comparisons to Randy Orton, and more.
When asked about his promo inspirations, the 26-year-old mentioned that he grew up during the WWE PG era. According to Kyle Fletcher, one of the first names that drew him in with his promos was The Miz:
This always gets a bit of a laugh. Growing up, I’m a little bit younger than a lot of wrestling fans. One of the people who first drew me with their promos was The Miz. A lot of people have things to say about him now, but I still think he’s one of the best. I think I’ve always thought that.
Far And Away The Best: Kyle Fletcher
The former TNT Champion also gave a nod to John Cena, saying the Cenation Leader is the best promo guy he has ever seen. Kyle Fletcher mentioned the recently concluded retirement tour of the 17-time World Champion, discussing how it featured some great promos:
I think Cena is far and away the best promo guy I’ve ever seen. The stuff in his final run, there have been a couple where I’ve just been sitting there glued to the screen like 'How is this guy just so amazing at what he does?'
Apart from this, Fletcher named people such as Hangman Page, Roman Reigns, and Samoa Joe as some of the best promo guys he draws inspiration from, for his own work.
